Laboratory studies were conducted to determine the lateral movement of Steinernema glaseri and Heterorhabditis bacteriophora in sand at 15, 20, 25 and 30°C in response to Galleria mellonella larvae. Lateral movement was assessed in 42.5 ×5 cm PVC tubes, constructed from 17 individual sections, with G. mellonella larvae placed on one end and the nematodes in the center. The proportion of the nematodes moving towards or away from the larvae at different temperatures was quantified at 8 h intervals. Although both species are reported to be cruisers, only S. glaseri responded to the host cues. The movement of the infective juveniles of both species increased significantly as temperature rose. The extraction efficiency of both species decreased at all temperatures with time. |
